• Tierra sensed a ripple in the thread of fate and realized Hermione had become a variable.

During Newt Scamander’s Care of Magical Creatures lesson, Draco Malfoy tried to steal a Feathered Serpent egg, but Tierra returned it to its nest. Later, Ron visited Tierra’s wishing tree and wished for Umbridge to be punished, prompting Tierra to consider granting the wish within his power.

• Tierra secretly took the Feathered Serpent egg from Draco’s pocket and restored it to the nest in Newt Scamander’s case.
• Newt’s lesson captivated the students, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron later went to the Owlery to send letters to Sirius Black and Percy Weasley.

Tierra began Dumbledore’s Muggle Studies class by asking Hogwarts students to describe Muggles, revealing sharply divided views between the Houses. He concluded that wizards and Muggles were interconnected humans who shared a common destiny.

• Tierra began the Muggle Studies lesson in the Great Hall and told the other teachers, including Umbridge, to sit among the students.
• Tierra asked the students what they thought of Muggles, and Hermione and Dorotheo Hufflepuff offered positive descriptions.

• Tierra stopped the argument and explained that wizards knew little about the far more numerous Muggles despite living among them.
• Tierra declared that wizards and Muggles were interconnected and shared the name humans, forming a community of human destiny.

Tierra publicly punished Umbridge for her unlawful corporal punishment of Harry and Hermione, then denounced the Ministry for hiding Voldemort’s return and protecting Death Eaters. He began a lesson on Muggle political history, introducing capitalism and the Paris Commune.

• Tierra used magical labels to expose Umbridge’s negative qualities and sealed the stickers to her face for three days as punishment for her treatment of Harry and Hermione.

• Tierra lectured the students and teachers on capitalism, using examples such as the black slave trade and the Great Smog of London.

• Tierra admitted that wizardkind had cruelly exploited House-elves for centuries and passed the cause of reform to the students.
• Tierra sensed countless variables shifting.

Tierra concluded that assimilation meant reshaping intelligent beings’ values and turning them from constants into variables, then continued teaching Hogwarts students about capitalism and the Paris Commune. Hathaway Romanov instead began planning violent rituals modeled on his lesson, while Tierra’s lecture moved into the conditions that led to the Paris Commune.

• Tierra reasoned that assimilation required reshaping the universe’s intelligent life to align with his values while granting them freedom to develop.

In the headmaster’s office, he explained his plan to distinguish Ministry allies from enemies and said that even an attempt to imprison Dumbledore could help them force a decisive confrontation with Voldemort.

• Tierra told Dumbledore that Fudge and the Ministry’s bureaucratic clique, Death Eaters, and opportunists were their enemies, while rational centrists could become potential allies.
• Tierra proposed using Dumbledore’s Ministry contacts to identify the different factions and having the Order of the Phoenix gather evidence against the enemies.

• Tierra watched from Dumbledore’s office and eagerly anticipated the campaign against Umbridge.

• Tierra recorded that Time Reversal Experiment-1 had begun and that Umbridge’s spiritual dimensions were in good condition.

Tierra tested whether Umbridge could travel through time using only her Spiritual Dimension, but the fragile projection collapsed and he recalled her. He then reviewed his path toward higher dimensions and concluded he needed to perfect his authority over time and acquire death and annihilation before attempting to become a Great Old One.

• Tierra concluded that he had to perfect his authority over time and contain the authorities of death and annihilation before pursuing Great Old One status.

Tierra explained how he could acquire the Authorities needed to ascend, then watched Umbridge investigate a hidden passage in Hogwarts’ abandoned Girls' Bathroom. The investigation ended with Moaning Myrtle revealing that the passage required a fabricated language to open.

• Tierra concluded that his Chaos divinity could serve as the foundation for his ascent, while he planned to study for the Time Authority and obtain the Annihilation Authority by another means.

• Barty Crouch detected a hidden passage near the sinks but failed to open it with numerous spells.
• Moaning Myrtle appeared and told Umbridge and the others that the passage could only be opened using a fabricated language.

Umbridge questioned Moaning Myrtle about the Chamber of Secrets and learned that Tierra had stored something there after falling out with Gilderoy Lockhart over a Godhood Ascension Ritual. Convinced the chamber held a ritual worth five hundred thousand Galleons, Umbridge planned to claim it, unaware that Moaning Myrtle and Tierra were watching her.

• Umbridge and Percy questioned Moaning Myrtle about the space behind the sink, but she said ghosts could not enter it.
• Moaning Myrtle revealed that Tierra had visited the chamber repeatedly and, shortly before the final competition, carried an Undetectable Extension Charm trunk inside for two hours.
• Moaning Myrtle recounted hearing Tierra and Gilderoy Lockhart argue about the Godhood Ascension Ritual, Dreamlands, and Kadath, and said Lockhart seemed desperate to perform the ritual.
• Umbridge connected the argument to Lockhart's five-hundred-thousand-Galleon loan and concluded that Tierra had hidden the ritual supplies in the Chamber of Secrets.
• Umbridge imagined taking the ritual and ruling the magical United Kingdom, while Moaning Myrtle sneered and Tierra watched from the headmaster's office.
